About this route
Palm Springs to San Francisco connects the desert resort community with the Bay Area. This route is heavily seasonal, with peak demand from November through April when the Coachella Valley's warm weather attracts Bay Area residents. United and Alaska Airlines provide the most service.
Same timezone keeps things simple. Palm Springs' small airport is one of the most pleasant in California — open-air walkways, mountain views, and very short taxi times. SFO fog can delay arrivals, but the flight itself is quick at about 1 hour 30 minutes.
